Good Results in Every Case

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes. that he
was seriously afflicted with severe cold
that settled on his lungs: had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being Undue
ed to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, did so and was entirely
cured by use of a few bottles. Since
which time he has used it in his family

The continued drowth and water
famine that has prevailed through
the two western tiers of counties in
Ohio and the adjoining territory of
Indiana is growing serious, for upon
the table lands and extended level
stretches, away from large streams,
cattle are actually suffering and bel
lowing for drink. Farm and village
wells are dry, and in other wells the
low stage of water is breeding ty-
phoid fever and kindred diseases.

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD, SATURDAY. NOVEME
The School election seems to have

The School election seems to have
aroused the politicians. What mr.
gent necessities could have called
together the political leaders OF any
party on the question of a school
election, in which there could be no
issue except public school interests,
the people will not easily under
stand, but it should arouse their in
quiries. Ii this town or county must
be political to the wishes OF a few, it
is assuming dictatorship that the
people will mighty soon flatten out
if it centres down to an individual
issue, and we think the time is soon
here, and the causes sufficient, to
make it that.
We believe the County Court is to
be called together to canvass the
School election vote, something that
was not done before. If il is the de.
mand of candidates or the people,
the unnecessary expenses and trOu-
BILE are justified, but lift is "smart'
game of political tricksters to delay
aud confuse the course the law pro.
yides in such cases, that another
election must be held, the people
should come out to a man, and flat
ten out the instigators and willing
tools to making it (the School cleo
tiou) personal or political issue, as
they tiattened them out two years
ago, and they will, be they Republi-
cans OF Democrats.

CATS N DOGS.

Charles johnson, of Griffin, Ga, says that
he has a cat that turned from jet black to
gray from grief at being separated from his
children, to whom it was greatly attached.
The pet cat belonging to Mrs. Lucy Cain,
of Hannibal, Mo-, brought q mouse into tho
parlor recently, and with it n small piece Of
paper money. Mrs. Cain thought nothing
about the occurrence until ono day last week,
when she discovered that II roll of bills was
missing from her bureau drawer. Then she
put two and two together, and began a Wig
orous search Of the premises. The missing
bills We're finally uncarthcd in u corner OF tho
cellar, where q colony of mice had mado Il
nest of them.
AT the time Of the recent STRIKE of tho to-
bacco workers ieP. Loriliard g. Co. Is factory
in Jersey City there We're two pct cats i'll the
factory which We're inscparable. One of
them went out with the strikers, but the
other remained in tho factory, and when tho
strike was over the striking cat went back
with the hands. 1t refused, however, to as
sociatc with the faithful cat. The two met
by accident the other day on ono of the floors
Of the factory, and thu cat that won't out
pitched into tho other cat and tlrashed it.
Now the victorious cat travels about the
factory with red, white and blue ribbon
around its neck, placed there by its knights

What is the normal weight of a gownn
This question was recently asked of a New
York modiste, by u New York woman and
was answered with the aid of the scales. y
black silk reception costume that glittercd
with jet scquins was first put to the proof. 1t
tipped the beam ut thirty-four pounds. y
companion gown, like unto tine first, but re-
joIcins in n train, aud yet moro brilliant with
jet, owned unblushingly to TN avoisdupois of
forty-nine pounds. An examination into the
mysteries Of their construction was resorted
TO i'll order to discover just where this weight
came i'll. 1t lay somewhat in the draperies,
somewhat in the multitudinous bones and
steels, to some extent in the balls of lead that
were deliberately hung to the bodice and
concealed about tho skirt to hold its in
ti'icaciesin place, and most of all in the let
that made of the whole array O full defensive
panoply, bullet proof.
Walking dresses were also tested with the
following results: "A tailor made gown of fine
wool, with Killed skirt, but wholly without
adventitious trimmings, a very Cinderella of
n Lentcn robe, weighed twelve pounds. Fiji
teen, seventeen and nineteen We're the figures
of three others respectively. No kind of q
dress was found that weighed short of ten
pounds, and yet fashionable women who wear
fashionable gowns are scldomk known to COM

of such unnatural and uncallcd for strain

EtiGuetto of tho Hat.

The well bred man raises his hat if no
passes q lady, though a stranger, in tho hall
of n hotel, on the stair, or if lie does her any
little service such as restoring her fan or
glove, or if she makes an inquiry of him or
lie of her. y gentleman walking with an
acquaintance, raises his hat to those persons
whom his acquaintance salutes but DOES not
bow.
Gentlemen remove their hats in hotel
elevators when ladies are present. A recent
writer Oh etiquette considers that this is not
demanded by politeness, at the best, and is
beside so inconvenicnt to do when the elevator
is full, that it might well be abandoned alto
gether. The inconvenience mentioned I'M
doubtcdly occurs at times. Nevertheless this
is Il pleasant custom and we have not so
many acts of formal courtesy that it is well
to dispense with any of them unnecessarily.
A gentleman lifts lis Lat to his wife,
mother or sister upon meeting them in Il pub
lie place as deferentially as to any other lady.
a Nell bred man also removes his hat upon
entering q place of amusement, while eli i'll

reaches his scat, though that may be far

l find i'll my notes a description OF Gen.
Grant written behind Vicksburg in June,
1865. 1t may be of interest ut this remote
dtte:
Almost at any time ono can see q small but
compactly built man of about Is years of
age walking through the camps. He moves
with H. shoulders thrown q little in front of
the perpendicular, his left hand in the pocket
OF his trousers, al %unlightcd cigar in his
mouth, his eyes thrown straight forward,
which, from the haze Of abstraction which
wells them, and a countcnance plowed into
furrowsof thought, would seem to indicate
that lie is intensely preoccupied. Tho sol
diers observe him coming, and, rising to
their feet, gather on each side of the way to
see him pass-they do not salute him, they
only watch him curiously, with q certain sort
Of familiar reverence. His distracted air is
not so great while he thus moves along as to
prevent his seeing everything without appar-
entity looking at it; you will discover this in
the fact that, however dense the crowd in
which You stand, if you are an acquaintance,
his eye will for an instant rest on you with a
glance of recollection, accompanied with a
grave nod of recognition.

hope of seeing the Irish and English

where no Irishmen could live unless
he lived like a slave, OF, if the people

excuses Oh which to found coercion
had never been heard. Mr.. Balfour

What was the object OF the celebrated charge
of the Light brigade at Balaklava during the
Crimean war? Had any order been given?
Or.
On Oct. o., 1854, Balaklava. iii possession of
the Allies, was attacked by the Russians, who
stormed four redoubts, fcebly defended by
Turkish troops, but were repulsed by the
Highlanders and defeated by the English
heavy brigade, and made no further effort to
advance. A Capt. Nolan purportcd to bring
an order from Lord Lucan to the Earl of
Cardigan FOR the capture of certain Russian
guns Cardigan led his light brigade of GOO
cavalry against the enemy and cut his way
back under u terrible fire from tho Russian
batteries. Only $50 men returned. Capt.
Nolan, who bore the disputed order, was the
first to fall, thus cutting OFF an important
chain of evidence as to the responsibility for
the useless sacrifice.
